Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The shares of Class B Common held by the Reporting Persons were acquired on September 28, 2012, when NACCO completed the spin-off of the Issuer to NACCO’s stockholders. Immediately following the spin-off, the Issuer became an independent public company.

To effect the spin-off, NACCO made a distribution of all of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock held by NACCO to NACCO common stockholders as of the record date, 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 25, 2012. For each share of Class A common stock of NACCO, par value $1.00 per share (the “NACCO Class A Common”), held on September 25, 2012, NACCO distributed one share of Class A Common and one share of Class B Common. Similarly, for each share of Class B common stock of NACCO, par value $1.00 per share (the “NACCO Class B Common”), held on September 25, 2012, NACCO distributed one share of Class A Common and one share of Class B Common.

NACCO stockholders were not required to pay for shares of Class A Common or Class B Common received in the spin-off, or to surrender or exchange shares of NACCO Class A Common or NACCO Class B Common or take any other action to receive the Class A Common or Class B Common.

Immediately after the spin-off, holders of NACCO Class A Common and NACCO Class B Common held all of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common and Class B Common. In connection with the spin-off, NACCO distributed 8,389,563 shares of Class A Common and 8,389,563 shares of Class B Common to NACCO stockholders. Under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Class B Common in convertible at any time, without costs to the holder of such Class B Common into Class A Common on a share-for-share basis. As of December 31, 2012, 3,650,999 shares of Class B Common have been converted into shares of Class A Common. As a results, the Class B Common outstanding on December 31, 2012 was 4,738,564 shares.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

The purpose of the formation of the Partnership and the Reporting Persons entering into and delivering the original partnership agreement, and the acquisition by the Partnership of the NACCO Class B Common was to (a) provide the Reporting Persons with a mechanism for consolidating the management of their holdings of NACCO Class B Common in a manner that would allow coordinated family management of such NACCO Class B Common and (b) to facilitate the estate planning objectives of the Reporting Persons. As a result of the spin-off, the Partnership holds Class A Common and Class B Common. The Partnership also (a) provides the Reporting Persons with a mechanism for consolidating the management of their holdings of Class A Common and Class B Common in a manner that would allow coordinated family management of such Class A Common and Class B Common and (b) facilitates the estate planning objectives of the Reporting Persons.

Further, under such terms, the Rankin IV General Partners generally exercise such power by a vote of the Rankin IV General Partners holding a majority of the general partnership interests.

Under the terms of the Rankin IV Partnership Agreement, the Partnership may not dispose of NACCO Class B Common, Class A Common or Class B Common, or convert NACCO Class B Common or Class B Common into NACCO Class A Common or Class A Common, respectively, without the consent of the Rankin II

General Partners holding more than 75% of the general partnership interests in the Partnership and the consent of the holders of more than 75% of all partnership interests, including the general partnership interests, in the Partnership (the “Rankin IV Partnership Interests”).

The Rankin IV Partnership Agreement restricts the transfer of Rankin IV Partnership Interests by the partners and provides the partners and the Partnership with a right of first refusal to acquire Rankin IV Partnership Interests that a partner desires to sell and a repurchase obligation to compel the sale of Rankin IV Partnership Interests by the partners under certain circumstances. These transfer restrictions, rights of first refusal and repurchase obligations are more fully set forth in the Rankin IV Partnership Agreement.

Stockholders’ Agreement

The Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of September 28, 2012, among the signatories thereto and the Issuer (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference, requires a signatory to offer the shares of Class B Common beneficially owned by such signatory to all of the other signatories upon the occurrence of either of the following: (a) the proposed conversion of shares of Class B Common by such signatory into shares of Class A Common and (b) the proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of Class B Common by such signatory to any permitted transferee (under the terms of the Class B Common) who is not a signatory to the Stockholders’ Agreement. In either of these cases, the signatory proposing to enter into one of these transactions must notify all of the other signatories and then must allow each such other signatory the opportunity to purchase such signatory’s pro rata portion of the shares of Class B Common which are subject to the proposed transaction in accordance with the procedures described below. The Stockholders’ Agreement, however, does not restrict transfers of Class B Common among the signatories or any other permitted transferee who becomes a signatory to the Stockholders’ Agreement.

A signatory proposing to engage in a transaction triggering a right of first refusal must first give written notice of the proposed transaction by registered mail to the Issuer, which acts as depository under the Stockholders’ Agreement. The depository, in turn, is required to send such notice promptly to all of the other signatories. Following receipt of such notice, each other signatory will have seven (7) business days to elect whether or not to purchase his, her or its pro rata portion of the shares of the Class B Common which have triggered a right of first refusal. A signatory’s pro rata portion will be determined by dividing the number of shares of Class B Common which such person owns by the number of shares of Class B Common which are owned by all of the other signatories who similarly may elect to purchase the shares of Class B Common which have triggered the right of first refusal. A notice electing to purchase a pro rata portion of the shares of Class B Common must be sent to the depository by the end of the seven (7) business day period. If the signatories electing to purchase do not elect to purchase all of the shares of Class B Common, then such signatories have an additional five (5) business days to agree among themselves how to allocate the shares not purchased. If they cannot reach any agreement, the allocation shall be pro rata. If there are still shares of Class B Common which are not purchased following such allocation, then the Issuer shall have an additional three (3) business days to decide whether or not to purchase the remaining shares. The Issuer, however, is under no obligation to purchase any such shares.

Following the completion of such procedures, the signatory who has triggered the right of first refusal is free, for a period of thirty (30) business days, to convert the shares of Class B Common, if any, which remain, into shares of Class A Common. If the signatory had originally proposed to transfer the shares, such signatory would be free to transfer shares of Class A Common in accordance with the originally proposed transaction.

Signatories who elect to exercise the right of first refusal and purchase shares of Class B Common may pay for such shares in cash, an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common, or in a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common. The purchase price to be paid is the higher of what is specified in the notice sent by the signatory who has triggered the right of first refusal and the average of the last sales price of Class A Common on the New York Stock Exchange for the five (5) days prior to the date of such notice.

The Stockholders’ Agreement only restricts the conversion, or the sales or other disposition outside of the Stockholders’ Agreement, of shares of Class B Common held by each signatory. The Stockholders’ Agreement does not restrict in any respect how a signatory may vote the shares of Class B Common which are subject to the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement.
